Flash Builder Upgrade Question

Probably a stupid question, but if you have Flex 3 Standard, what are the upgrade choices?
-FB4 Standard Upgrade (No ColdFusion Builder included) $99
-ColdFusion Builder 1 (+FB4 Standard free) $299
-FB4 Premium Upgrade (includes ColdFusion Builder 1?) $299
Is this correct? (If so, the second choice is pointless if you own FB3 Standard.)
The store specifies FlexB 3 Standard is required for an upgrade to FlashB 4 Standard (makes sense). But it simply says "Flex Builder 2 or 3" in the FlashB 4 Premium upgrade for $299.
Does this mean FB3 Standard OR Professional both allow you to upgrade to FB4 Premium for $299? Or does it need to be Pro like I would assume?
The store says "Please check upgrade eligibility before making your selection." but it says nothing about how we're supposed to do that.

There's a phone number posted on the Adobe Store for these purchasing questions. Most of the Adobe folks here are the engineering teams.

Creative Suite Design Premium - Flash Builder Upgrade

Hi, I bought the Design Premium product last week and I'm keen to investigate mobile development side of things (we develop Mobile Apps at YARG) but it looks like you need Flash Builder, which you don't get with Design Premium. I'm new to the Adobe development side of things and a little confused. With the Flash Professional it says we can build iOS for Air? What's the main difference between Flash Builder and Flash Professional, is Flash Builder for of a development IDE or can I still build Mobile Apps with Flash Professional? If you already have the a creative suite can you purchase extra products (like Flash Builder) at a discounted rate - probably no.
Thanks for any help you can give.

In the Suites, Flash Builder is in Adobe Creative Suite Web Premium version (NOT Design Premium) or the Master Collection. (I'm not sure whether it's too late to do an exchange: You'd have to call Customer Service.)
As for your other question, it like a better question for the Flash forums than you'll get here.

Install Flash Builder 4.5.x Upgrade without Flex Builder 3.x installed?

Edit: Is the lack of replies because no one knows the answer or because this was a ridiculously dumb question?
Also, if I must have a prior version physically installed to do the upgrade, can I install Flex Builder 3 on a temp Windows machine, upgrade that to Flash Builder 4.5.x and then transfer the license to the MacBook? Seems like a very convoluted way of doing things but if that's the only way then I suppose I can go scrounge up a spare computer to do so. End Edit
Hi,
I just got a brand new MacBook Air which has Lion on it.
I have an unused boxed copy of Flex Builder 3.0 standard edition.
I tried to install 3.0 and of course I got an error along the lines of not compatible.
What I would like to do is upgrade to Flash Builder 4.5.
So the question is,
Can I buy the upgrade edition of Flash Builder 4.5 standard for Mac, then install that on my MacBook even if I don't have 3.0 installed to upgrade from?
Is it as simple of just supplying the seriel number from 3.0 when upgrading?
Thanks.

Changed the title to better reflect the situation.
Also added a blurb to the top.

Well, thought I should update just in case someone else has a similar thought.
I ran out of time to wait and it seemed I wasn't going to get a response so took the chance and bought the upgrade.
The install couldn't find any prior versions so just asked for the serial for Flex Builder 3.0.
After entering that in, it thankfully installed just fine.
Would have totally sucked if it didn't work and was forced to then buy the full version.
Anyhow, relieved it worked.
Regards.

Is there any updates or free upgrades for Flash Builder 4.6 ?

Was wondering if there any updates or upgrades for 4.6 Flash Builder.
thanks.

Good question, maybe FB 4.7 would be the big upgrade...

Flash builder 4.7 upgrade issue from Flash builder 4.5 (key is not valid)

Hi,
We (Company) are buying Adobe products more than 6-7 years now. We bought the Flash builder premium 4.5 and Flash builder premium 4.5 for PHP volume licence. Now flash builder 4.7 should be complementary upgrade for us. But when we are using Flash builder 4.7 trial version and adding serial number (Flash builder 4.5 serial number), it's just not working and showing a error "key is not valid".
I chat with Adobe customer care 4 different people, they end up saying that let us transfer you to volume licence department and then chat ended. No more chat messages, I checked more than one hour and still no message.
Then I called they, it took 15 mins to connect with customer care. I picked the "upgrade" option from phone menu and then connected with a guy. After listening complete case he forwarded my call to Volume licence executive and the volume licence executive transferred it to some other guy and the other guy redirect it to some specialized person. So total 4 guys. The last guy (specialized) name was Rohit.
This guy Rohit asked me, did I buy a customer support programme (some product about $2.nn.00 )? I said no, we bought volume licenses for Flash builder premium 4.5 ( about $4000.00 ****). He said, sorry sir I can not help you in this, but I can provide you an e-mail address and you can report your concern there. I already passed my 1.5 hour in this conversation. I said okie. He gave me a case number and told me that he will send a email mentioning that email address as per my request I disconnect the phone.
I never get that email address.
Can some one suggest me what to do next. My case number is : 209-788-274.
My email is: [email protected]
Thanks,
Amitabh Arya

I have the same problem, and i have send request complementary upgrade (Adobe® Flash® Builder® 4.7 Complimentary Upgrade), and only received a Acrobat change licensed...
I´m working with 4.7 Beta the last mounths, and now all the days have to see "please enter your license". So one problem that you can jump with money (if you have that money..), isn´t a problem. Like a i have license from flex 3, upgrade to flex 4, and upgrade to flex 4.5, i´m going to take de upgrade from 4 standard to 4.7 standard (47,97 euros), and not waste my time and money on calls. So yes, I'll see adobe with another eyes...
Best regards,

Question on CCloud Flash Builder 4.6 install

Hello,
I curretly have Flash Builder 4.6 installed on my computer - it was originally installed as FB4.5 when I installed MC CS 5.5 -- but the 4.6 version was made available as a separate installation from MC.5 when it became available last November -- so I now have FB 4.6 as a stand-alone install.
My question is this -- do I need to uninstall my stand-alone installation of FB4.6 in order to install MC6 via my CCloud subscription (when it becomes available on May 11) -- or will the FB 4.6 install in CS6 install without errors (in a different location?). The reason I would like to do this is that FB can sometimes be buggy and I have the current install working well. I would like to install the new FB 4.6 and make sure i works and compiles well before uninstalling last December's stand-alone verson of FB 4.6.
Thanks

Thanks David,
Just two questions
1. Is the FB 4.6 version in CC the same as the FB 4.6 I installed in December, or is it a newer release (eg 4.6.2 etc)? If the CC version is the latest would want that
2. If I did keep my current FB4.6 -- would the CC "know" that it should receive the latest updates. I keep reading where CC apps are always up-to-date with latest releases and builds -- so if I have an "old" FB4.6 -- would the CC updater give it the same updates as if I had installed it directly from CC?
Thank you

Can't Upgrade To Flash Builder 4.6 Standard from 4.5.1 Standard

A while ago, I bought Adobe CS5 Web Premium (with educational licensing). Since then, Adobe flash builder has been updated to version 4.6, which contains features that I wish to use - mobile developement. However, I cannot seem to find any way to upgrade my current Flash Builder 4.5 Standard to Flash Builder 4.6 Standard. I have found a download which installs Flash Builder 4.6 Premium, but this does not accept my license key (which seems normal, since I do not have a 4.5 Premium license). I cannot, however find any way of updating to 4.6 Standard. There is no "try" option for 4.6 Standard, though on the product page, it claims that it comes with a complimentary upgrade to 4.6 Standard. Does anyone have any clues on how to upgrade Flash Builder 4.5 Standard to Flash Builder 4.6 Standard?

pythoner66
As per the user agreement, I installed Creative Suite (CS) Web Premium 5.5 on both a desktop and a laptop. On the desktop (which was the first machine I tried to update) I went threw all the steps listed in my previous post before I got it to work. Once I got it working on my desktop I figured out that I could simplify the process for the laptop update. Here's what I did...
1) Deactivated CS 5.5 by going into Flash Builder clicking Help > Deactivate Flash Builder...and clicking "Deactivate Permanently" (which deactivated the entire suite)
2) Uninstalled only Flash Builder 4.5 and the iOS Component through the Control Panel (I'm sure you know how to do but just in case... go to Control Panel > Programs and Features (terminology may vary based on your OS) and click on your CS and click Uninstall. This will launch the Adobe uninstaller. From there deselect everything and only select (check) Flash Builder 4.5 and the iOS Component and then uninstall them - uninstalling the iOS Component might not be necessary, but I did it anyway)
3) Restarted after those uninstalled
4) Launched Photoshop and entered my CS Serial Number (you should be able to launch any CS program thats still installed to do this)
5) Once it opened, closed it
6) Installed Flash Builder 4.6 in Trial Mode making sure to select the same language used when CS was installed (that's IMPORTANT)
7) Launched Flash Builder 4.6 in 60-Day (or however many days it was) Trail Mode
8) Once it opened, closed it
9) Launched Flash Builder 4.6 again, but this time I entered the Serial Number from my CS (at that point it accepted the SN and opened like normal and has everytime since)
10) I then installed my iOS Component from my original CS
That's it.
If you aren't having luck with the steps I posted in my earlier replies, you might want to try the steps I just mentioned. Start by installing your entire CS again - making special note of the language you select. Once installed and SN entered and you're sure your programs are up and running, the steps mentioned here worked for me. They're also less time consuming than the steps I entered in my previous reply.
The only issue I can see would be trying to update from Flash Builder 4.5 Standard to Flash Builder 4.6 Premium. But Jeff didn't say that was a problem, so you should be ok there.
Hope these steps help.
Good luck.

Flex components not working after upgrade to Flash Builder 4

I just purchased Flash Builder 4 and imported my project from Flex Builder 3. Everything worked except my Flex components that were created in Flash Professional using the Flex Compoent Kit are not showing up at all in my Flex app. The components were created in Flash CS3 and published to an SWC. I even tried upgrading to Flash Professional CS5 and re-publishing but that didn't help. These components work fine in Flex Builder 3 with Flex SDK 3.2. Does anyone know why they aren't showing up in Flash Builder 4 using Flex SDK 4.1 and AIR 2.5 SDK? I need this to work with AIR SDK 2.5 so I can compile for Android. Thanks, Ryan.

P.S. when I say they aren't showing up I mean they aren't visible in the running application. Flash Builder is finding them in the SWC though because I instantiate the components in my mxml file and it compiles without errors. - Ryan

Upgrading Flex Builder 3 Standard to Flash Builder 4 Premium

Hi there,
Purchased Flex Builder 3 Standard back in January. Came to enjoy (and depend on) the memory profiling functions in the beta 2.
Anyhow, Flash Builder 4 has been released, and I see there is no memory profiler in the Standard edition. I see some conflicting information out there regarding upgrades -- some (third party) websites say it's possible to upgrade Flex Builder 3 Standard to Flash Builder 4 Premium. Adobe's website says it's only possible to upgrade Standard -> Standard, and Premium -> Premium.
The costs to upgrade to Premium from Standard would be prohibitive; I'd have to purchase two separate upgrades and the price would go over $US1000. Am I able to upgrade to Premium using my Flex Builder 3 Standard purchase?
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't think that "downgrades" from FB3 Pro to FB4 Standard are officially supported. You might be able to negotiate with a Sales Rep to make an exception for you though, for a discounted price on a non-upgrade version of FB4 Standard.
Alternatively, if you have any interest in CS5 Web Premium (or have any Adobe products qualifying for a CS5 upgrade), FB4 Standard is included with that Suite now.

Flash Builder 4.7 mac , after upgrade to adobe air 13/14 wont create new projects

im running flash builder 4.7 on mac, and recently upgrade to a newer air, this was sad in itself as flash builder dosnt have a mechanism for doing this you have to paste files all manually all over the place.
Im now running into an issue where I cannot even create projects.
Has anyone had this issue? does anyone know how to solve?
Thanks

Called support had the pleasure of a really long wait time.
first level tech support stated this was a "known issue", got transferred to another sr technician who was going to fix this, didn't have a clue about the previous conversation and the call dropped. I don't have the patients to wait on hold nearly an hr again.
Adobe, if this is a known issue please post a sticky somewhere or assign someone to reply to the community posts.
If anyone else has the answer to this, that would be much appreciated, Im kind of loathing flash builder at the moment and resenting the fact i can't run flash develop natively on mac.

Warning... dumb question ahead: Tech guy who set up my Mac didn't give me my password info. Didn't need it till I decided to finally download a Flash Player upgrade, which won't complete process without my Mac password. Suggestions?

Flash Builder 4 Upgrade

I want to upgrade my current Flex Builder 3 to Flush Builder 4. I'm using 32-bit Window Vista. I only saw Flash Builder 4 Window 64-bit version.
Is there a Flash Builder 4 Window 32-bit version?

Yes. Look again.

I have licensed version of Flash Builder with Master Collection CS5.5 how to upgrade to Flash Builder 4.7

Did not take advantage of the free upgrade awhile back and need to upgrade my Flash Builder 4.6 licensed in Master Collection 5.5 to version 4.7.
My serial is not working from my MC5.5 and my individual license from my Flash Builder is not working.
Any ideas on to solve this issue?
Tried to purchase an upgrade on their site but cannot find one that will let me upgrade from 4.6 to 4.7.

No. You'll either have to pay for CS6 at full price. Or you'll need a subscription to the Creative Cloud. I highly recommend the latter.

Upgraded to Mac OSX Lion, have an issue with Flash Builder 4.5.1 and Flex SDK 3.2

Howdy, I upgraded my mac yesterday to 10.7, and have run into an interesting problem.
I was using Flex Builder 3 before, using Flex SDK 3.2. After upgrading, I found that Flex Builder 3 is not compatible with Lion anymore, so I had to upgrade to Flash Builder 4.5.
This is fine, I just figured I would add the Flex 3.2 sdk, which I did. However, after adding my project to the workbench for Flash Builder 4.5, I see the following error:
http://cl.ly/3J3W0E22402G2I1L2U1Q
However, as far as I can tell, the following two screenshots mean I have installed the Flex 3.2 sdk:
http://cl.ly/1S0l1m2u1Z0z053Y3U29
http://cl.ly/3c3k2B161K1d1y2H332P
Does anyone know if this is even possible to do? I need to get back into development ASAP. If I can get Flex 3.2 SDK working in this environment, I am pretty sure I will be good to go.
Thanks so much!
Andrew

How to upgrade Flash Builder 4 to 4.1

I have FB 4 installed. I am trying to upgrade to 4.1. I found a zip file, downloaded it and unzipped it but there does not appear to be any way of applying the update. Am I missing something?
